Even though Review and Assessment is the eighth and final component in the SIOP Model, it is not done only at the end of the lesson. Rather throughout the various steps of the lesson, teachers should be Reviewing Key Vocabulary (SIOP Feature 27) and Key Concepts (SIOP Feature 28) and Providing Regular Feedback to Students (SIOP Feature 29). In this way, they can have a continuous Assessmnet of Student Comprehension (SIOP Feature 30).
Why are review and assessment important for you as a future teacher to know about? Because assessment and instruction are linked!
Teachers should use assessment to plan their lessons for student needs and strengths, and to evaluate the effectiveness of their lesson delivery
Need ongoing assessment of both content and language objectives
Review and assessment occur throughout each lesson and when the lesson concludes
Good Assessment is:
Informal - on the spot, not always graded
Authentic - meaningful, applicable to real-life tasks
Multidimensional - use different methods
Includes Multiple Indicators - specific evidence should support the meeting of objectives
Adaptations These are especially important for ELLs! It can be difficult to determine which content objectives have been met if there are language proficiency issues. The following are helpful adaptations for English Language Learners:
